(500) Days of Weezy

Friday, August 6th, 2010

This brilliant mix combining the commercial hits of Lil Wayne (aka Weezy) and the soundtrack of (500) Days of Summer is quite possibly the most epic thing I have ever heard. The mix was posted over at KeapHope, and creator MySickUncle explains: “This is not a mash up album, this is an album about Wayne.” I suggest you stop what you’re doing right now and go listen to (500) Days of Weezy.

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

The latest craze in China has people painting or dying their dogs so they appear to be wild animals. The results are, well, shocking to say the least. One of my Asian friends sums it up best: “Look what we did! It’s like God found a way to give me a pet tiger!”

This craze isn’t just limited to Golden Retrievers that look like tigers. There isn’t a more appropriate animal mashup in China as the fluffy puppy that appears to be a panda cub:

No word yet if this is all just a response from the Chinese government to protect their citizens against the Teenage Mutant Ninja Poodle.

Premakes

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Premakes: remakes remade in the past.

They’re like video mashups – but with an olde timey feel – pioneered by filmmaker WhoIsEyevan (Ivan Guerrero).

This concept just might replace the now-stale Sweded movie trend that swept through YouTube over a year and a half ago

Ghostbusters (1954):

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1951):

Forest Gump (1949):
